Having a creative player to rotate in is not bad to have. We grew overly reliant on Eriksen in that regard and risk doing the same to Gio.

I really think Skipp needs to head out on loan and start 30 games for a Championship side.
Both Jose and Skipp said the same after he signed his new deal. So it will most likely happen.
Offered a choice of Eze and Brooks who do you take?
Eze has stood out to me as having much greater potential.
I shant. What is your point? If you don't care to share it then fine but I'm not trying to do homework to ascertain your point. I think it's safe to assume there wasn't one.
Part of the problem is they have to play as a pair. You can’t play Serge without Moussa to do all his tracking and covering.
Shan't LOL
You know what the point is. Read the bio and compare the start of his career to CCV.
I am not sure that Aurier would make the best back-up, he likely sees himself as a starter so not sure he would be happy playing Cup games sitting behind someone else. Plus I think we could get a decent fee from someone in Europe for him to help strengthen our squad.
Sissoko on the bench, ok, since I do not think we could get much for him if he was sold, but my concern there is Jose seems to love him and I think once we have a loose game either as a team or by one of the MF and Sissoko is thrown right back in there. I would prefer to sell him (for anything) and go with a MF bench of Skipp, Gedson, Winks plus an attacking/creative player.
Got no issue with keeping Sissoko around as there are definite uses for him and seems to be popular. But as previous posters have said, criminal that he is in our first XI.
With Aurier my worry is , even if we sign a right back, somehow we’ll find him starting games. Therefore even if he goes somewhere for free (obviously if we can get any money then great) we’ll immediately be better off as it will force some action/activity to fill that spot.

Unless there's another player we can buy who can help cover the back line/RB who is also better than Sissoko. Not saying you're wrong, just saying Sissoko isn't the only one capable of tracking and covering.
jog on...
Neither would be my preferred option!
That's fair. I'm not ready to punt Aurier and Ndombele. I see potential. I think/hope Mou can bring the best out of them.Neither would be my preferred option!
I don't mind keeping Sissoko either, just seems like the perfect player to move on to help raise funds for incomings.
And don't forget the old classic "...well who would you buy then?"
Because of course none of us work, we spend our time travelling the world scouting the latest talent
You enquired what happened to the money.... We subsequently spent it this year.
If there is a pot of 'gold in reserve by all means let's go shopping.... If there is it should be easily proven.
Positive steps for Academy | Tottenham Hotspur
Our Under-23s and Under-18s are stepping up their pre-season preparations this week as they begin to report back to Hotspur Way.

We are also pleased to confirm the signing of young midfielder Alfie Devine from Wigan Athletic. The 15-year-old, who featured for Wigan Under-18s in their FA Youth Cup run last season, including a substitute appearance against us in the fourth round, has joined our Academy set-up as a first-year Under-18s player.
Honestly? Happy with either. You could make the argument that Brooks has shown ability in the PL whereas Eze is unproven (yet one could also be concerned about how Brooks will come back from his injury).
Kim Min-Jae, Hojbjerg, Castagne, C Wilson, Brooks would be a really impressive return for a window given our circumstances. All a level lower than I’d like to see us targeting but we have probably had to drop our standards somewhat based on needing a few, along with the lost revenue streams in 2020.
How do we all feel about Brooks being linked? Every time I’ve seen him I thought he had very promising quality.
